Whoa, dude, I am, like, so totally buzzed, man. Its, like, there’s a mouse or something on my head and I’m all, like, whatever, man, that’s cool,. What say you and I, like, go out and see if we can score some cheese, man, and come back and, like, watch some Iggy and Scratchy cartoons till dawn? Maybe this mouse thing will be gone by then.

This is your Captain squeaking: We’re now traveling at an altitude of eighteen inches, and if you look to your right you’ll see the vast kitchen floor, where many battles were fought before the historic cat/rat peace accord of 2009….

I’m crushed that Prongs edited my name just because of unfortunate timing vis-a-vis when I saw and therefore commented on this lovely photo. I would be all in a huff about it but these guys are TOO sweet to maintain any huff for long.

You guys are idiots, the reason this rat is on the cat’s head is because it has been infected by a parasitic protozoa called Toxoplasma gondii. If you don’t believe me, do your research. Here’s a link the wikipedia overview of T.Gondii – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii

“T. gondii infections have the ability to change the behavior of rats and mice, making them drawn to rather than fearful of the scent of cats.”

“Studies have also shown behavioral changes in humans, including slower reaction times and a sixfold increased risk of traffic accidents among infected males[12], as well as links to schizophrenia including hallucinations and reckless behavior[13]. “
